He also mentioned that vehicles would be directed to access Olojo drive, connect Alaba International Market and Volkswagen Bus stop, inward Mile 2, then proceed with their journey.
“Also, traffic on the service lane inbound Lagos, heading toward Volkswagen, Mile 2 and LASU axis will be diverted to the toll lane/LRMT corridor to reconnect the Lagos bound lane by Volkswagen for their desired destinations,” explained the commissioner. “Motorists inward Badagry and Iba will use the service lane from Barracks to LASU and Okokomaiko to continue their journey.”
Mr Oladeinde added, “The State Traffic Management Authority will be on the ground to manage the traffic flow and minimise inconvenience.”
